First Rays of the New Rising Sun (Jimi Hendrix) – MAYBE

Jimi Hendrix's "First Rays of the New Rising Sun" (1970/1, 1997)

(intended for 1970/1, released April 22, 1997))

Review:

Listening to First Rays of the New Rising Sun — this composite of what Hendrix’s fourth studio album may have sounded like — is a bittersweet experience: it is clearly incomplete, but there is evidence here — tight, upbeat, brilliant evidence — that this could have approached the quality of Are You Experienced!
